When meeting an oncoming vehicle on a narrow road, you should:

Stop completely

Give the other vehicle half of the roadway

When meeting an oncoming vehicle on a narrow road, giving the other vehicle half of the roadway is the most practical and safe approach. This action demonstrates courtesy and an understanding of traffic dynamics, especially when road width does not allow for both vehicles to comfortably pass side by side.

Sharing the roadway helps to minimize the risk of collisions and eases the passage for both drivers. It is essential for maintaining a smooth flow of traffic and ensures that you are being considerate of others on the road, promoting safer driving practices.

Stopping completely may not be practical in many scenarios, as it could create confusion or a traffic backlog. Forcing the other vehicle to yield can lead to dangerous situations, as it may escalate tension between drivers and compromise safety. Turning on headlights is useful for visibility, especially in poor lighting conditions, but it doesn't directly address the necessity of navigating the limited space effectively when meeting an oncoming vehicle. Thus, sharing the roadway is the most appropriate response.
